A new trailer from
Payday 2 answers the burning question what is Payday 2? beyond the
explanation already present in the accompanying blurb: "Join Payday 2’s Game
Director David Goldfarb, as he takes us through what makes Payday 2 different
from the original Payday The Heist, and other shooters out there on the market.
Winner of 4 E3 2013 Awards, PAYDAY 2 is an action-packed, 4-player co-op shooter
that once again lets you don the masks of the original PAYDAY crew – Dallas,
Hoxton, Wolf and Chains – as they descend on Washington D.C. for an epic crime
spree."

Because that's basically team deathmatch with skins?

Or if you throw in objectives, Counterstrike?

This is closer to Left 4 Dead.

@Verno: I don't know what kind of spawning system would have pleased you. Yeah there was infinite spawns with periods of heavy spawning, which could be reduced by taking out security cameras on some maps, but the spawn points were pretty logical and not as bad as many AAA games.

Didn't watch the video yet but I hope they looked at the spawning system because damn if Payday didn't have some of the laziest design I've seen in awhile (endlessly respawning waves). It was essentially survival mode with timer objectives and the odd knickknack you could interact with. It was one of those games our little group really wanted to love but we all ended up spending about 5 hours then saying fuck it.

Anyways I'll watch the vid at launch and hope that they made some major improvements to the game mechanically, the shooting in particular was very weak and needed adjustment.
